Really? I've had Windows driver updates break network card drivers multiple times. And unlike Linux where I can just go back to the previous version, these Windows updates are usually "permanent system updates" that can't be reverted.
I was able to find several copies of a clip that was actively being served takedowns (so it would appear for a while on a site and then go away) on Bing, but none on Google Video. I'm no Microsoft fan but for this particular purpose I was impressed. Google's still my default though:) Bing is just another option to keep handy.
Yup, I run a website with Indic text and remember looking into TrueDoc etc. back in the days before Unicode was as widespread. I gave up and just used a standard (in that community) font that most visitors would have, and provided a download link, because there were so many competing embedding technologies and many cost money. This new CSS way of doing it would be a godsend if Unicode hadn't spread as much as it has.
It bothers us Americans too. Almost any open source office app has A4 paper by default, even if you have American localization, which means weird prints until you figure that out.
Apparently default isn't as commonly used as I thought. I asked what toppings came on a burger by default at a restaurant once and got a blank stare. Coworkers who were there later told me that default was too technical a term (which surprised me)
And your reverse engineering was illegal under Apple's license. If you didn't want to follow their terms for how you can use their OS, you shouldn't have been using it. You don't have the right to just go ahead and do what you want because the restriction seems unreasonable.
Agreed here too. I use Wikipedia plenty, but I refuse to donate as long as I keep seeing useful information deleted from articles and useful articles deleted.
JFS is not a solid filesystem. Without doing anything extraordinary, mine got into a state where every once in a while all access to JFS filesystems would block indefinitely. This meant I couldn't even sync my non-JFS filesystems. Doing some searches at the time I didn't find anything about that particular bug (I figured out that it was a deadlock but didn't have the time to debug/help debug it any further), but I ran into many other reports of race conditions and corruption. Now it's back to good old ext3 for me, which works wonderfully.
Except that it is trivially easy to tell Windows to use custom DNS while getting an IP/default gateway from DHCP. I don't have a Windows box in front of me to point out they exact steps, but when you go to where you configure it to use DHCP the option is right there.
Interestingly enough, I actually parsed the second "your" in his sentence as written the first time through, which gives it a different but valid meaning than "you're" (but still, I'm sure he probably meant "you're").
I thought I was the only one who did this. I peck with a few fingers, but don't hunt (like you said, muscle memory). I'm fairly fast; in fact, I catch myself typing without looking at the keyboard sometimes, but couldn't do it if I thought about it. On the other hand, I tried to learn standard touch-typing many times... just can't do it.
Riiight... because it's better to have an interface that meets some theoretical definitions of "usability" than an interface that's maybe, you know, usable. Sorry if I sound bitter, I've seen way too many good interfaces get ruined by HCI people and too many terrible interfaces designed by the same. Take Gnome's file selection dialog for example... utterly unusable. That's why I hope that KDE never get's infiltrated by the "usability" crowd and some of the recent trends toward that in KDE (though thankfully limited) scare me as a KDE user.
I'm pretty sure they dropped the "Wide Open West" a while ago and it's just WOW now. And I can confirm that they do have the stupid seek-aid thing, drives me crazy when trying to setup new websites because the seek-aid reply gets cached.
You've got to be kidding. That vertical layout is the worst thing to happen to keyboards in a long time. Half the keyboards here are like that, and they are impossible to use if you use those keys even occasionally (which I do while developing)
I had a TEXT file deleted by McAfee just a few days ago. The "virus" that it identified was a different one from the one in this article too. Unfortunately, in the version of VirusScan I have (came with Dell computer) there's practically no configurable options, so I have no way to set it to quarantine instead of delete.
How about posting a scan of an actual offer? That would end the debate. (And for the record, I think you have no idea what you're talking about... like another poster said, the rate probably went up because of a default)
How about you actually read the post before criticizing the moderation? He obviously was referring to TVs left on at school, which is a pretty common practice.

You have the technology to read a magnetic strip with a camera and line-of-sight? Because that's what the GP was talking about.

I've been mixing Coca-Cola and milk forever...
I get 70 MB/s over gigabit ethernet all the time, no special tuning. Of course doing that over a cell network would be ridiculous :)

Actually, the way I read it, if you do half the homework, you get 50% credit. If you do none of the homework, you also get 50% credit.

No it doesn't. All it does is change it to look like the old address bar. It doesn't disable the "search in title" 'feature'.

No, even 1 should be enough, given infinite time.

Whoops sorry, didn't realize it was MPEG only.
